Why pet owners choose MPI
Specialist-level CT, at a price you can plan for
01
Every case selected by a specialist
Before any scan, Dr. Pedro F. Armstrong, DVM, Diplomate ACVIM, a board-certified internal medicine specialist, reviews your pet's case. He decides whether CT is the right test and which areas to scan, so your pet gets the scan it actually needs. Most imaging centers don't have a specialist involved in this step.
02
Read by a board-certified radiologist
Every CT study is interpreted by a board-certified veterinary radiologist. The written report goes straight to your pet's veterinarian, who uses it to plan next steps with you.
03
One all-inclusive price
[CT PRICE – to be confirmed] for the first region and [ADD-ON PRICE] for each additional region. The CT, anesthesia, IV catheter, contrast and the radiologist's report are all included. No surprise add-ons.
No referral needed. We'll request your pet's records from your vet.

Pedro F. Armstrong, DVM, DACVIM (SAIM)
Dr. Pedro F. Armstrong was born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico. He attended Iowa State University for pre-veterinary studies. In 1996, he was admitted to Tuskegee University School of Veterinary Medicine, and graduated in 2000. Following veterinary school, Dr. Armstrong did a one year rotating veterinary internship in VCA West Los Angeles Animal Hospital. In 2001, under the mentorship of Mark E. Hitt, DACVIM, he completed a three-year internal medicine residency at the AVIM in Annapolis, Maryland. In 2008, he co-founded The Southeast Veterinary Referral Center and The Pet Emergency Room in Miami, which he sold in 2016. In June of 2014, Dr. Armstrong partnered with Dr. Xavier Meaux to form Mobile Pet Imaging, a revolutionary mobile high-definition CT scan and fluoroscopy service in a mobile unit. In 2016, Dr. Armstrong founded The Veterinary Internal Medicine Group, providing Internal Medicine Mobile Services throughout Broward, Miami-Dade, and Monroe Counties.
CT Scans
A CT scan creates detailed 3D images of your pet's organs, bones and soft tissues. It can find problems that X-rays and exams miss, so your vet can reach a clear diagnosis sooner and choose the right treatment.

Fluoroscopy
Fluoroscopy is a live X-ray video that shows how your pet's body is moving inside. It helps us see problems with swallowing, breathing and digestion that a still X-ray can't show.

Fine Needle Aspirates
A fine needle aspirate uses a very thin needle to collect a few cells from a lump or organ. It is quick and minimally invasive, and it often tells us what a mass is without surgery.

Pet owner FAQ
Questions owners ask us
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book a CT for your pet directly. When you book, we'll request your pet's medical records from your veterinarian so Dr. Armstrong can review the case before the scan.
Is a CT scan safe for my pet?
CT requires general anesthesia, and every anesthesia carries some risk. To keep your pet as safe as possible, Dr. Armstrong reviews each case first to make sure CT is the right test, an IV catheter is placed, and your pet is monitored closely from start to recovery.
Does pet insurance cover it?
Many pet insurance plans cover CT scans when they are medically needed. Coverage depends on your plan, so check with your insurance company before the appointment.
How do I send my pet's records?
We'll request them from your veterinarian for you when you book. Your vet can also email them to reports@mobilepetimaging.com.
Who explains the results to me?
The radiologist's report goes to your pet's veterinarian, who will explain the results and next steps. If you'd like Dr. Armstrong to review them with you, you can book a separate consultation.

Very nice and professional and best prices i’ve found in SFL for a diagnostic exam on my baby! It was quick and they made me feel comfortable about the whole procedure and even showed me the CT machine. Plus they also gave my baby a little shirt after his exam. Highly recommend them.
